It’s not really worth it to make different devices for different regions, that’s why all iphones 15 will have USB-C.
And tbh I don’t really buy the idea of devices being more modular = uglier. Framework laptops are a great example of how you can have a slick device and still be able to open it up and swap hardware easily. Without having everything glued and/or held with proprietary screws.
Different regions do get different devices though. US gets a different 5G antenna, and chime gets dual physical sims, just as examples. I’m sure there are other differences between regional variants.

I didn’t say modular is uglier. But that manufacturars would put the ugly on top to try to make people believe modular is uglier.
